His absence due to injury was one of the
key reasons for Liverpool’s title challenge failing last term, with Mane
missing the last eight games after undergoing knee surgery.

Now, he is set for another lengthy spell on
the sidelines, with the club confirming his latest injury on Tuesday afternoon.The winger is now set to miss up to 10
matches in all competitions, including crunch Premier League matches with
Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea.

His absence will also be keenly felt by
Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool look to qualify for the knockout stages of the
Champions League. Mane has proved a massive hit at Anfield since his £30million
move from Southampton in the summer of 2016.

He swept the board at the club’s end of
season awards back in May and had scored three goals in nine appearances so far
this term.
